About Us
Hikes'n Trails arranges sustainable nature activities in South-Lapland, Finland. We want you to hear the silence, enjoy the peace, and see the most beautiful fell and forest landscapes in Northern Finland.
Unique experiences and warm hospitality
Hospitality, friendly service and caring about the clients are principles that we respect. Our guides and co-operators are well-educated tourism professionals with long experience in serving people.
Safety and sustainability
In 2023, Taigavire Oy / Hikes'n Trails has granted Sustainable Travel Finland label as a recognition of valuable and long-term work for sustainable tourism. We have been working on a sustainable basis for years, and got our first certification in 2021. After that we have been granted the Good Travel Seal environmental certificate from year 2022.
Our guides are NOLS Wilderness First Aid certified professionals. All of our guides have gone through the most demanding nature tour safety education and have completed all the Finnish Outdoor Organization qualifications.
Traveling in smaller groups does not harm the environment very much. We say hello to everyone, we eat local food, we use prepared trails, we conserve natural resources like water and electricity at all accommodations, and minimize noise and waste during the trip. And all this with respect for local cultures, traditions and religion.
Hikes'n Trails supports the Finnish Association for Nature Conservation
The Finnish Association for Nature Conservation (FANC) is the largest non-governmental organization for environmental protection and nature conservation in Finland.
The purpose of the Finnish Association for Nature Conservation is to protect the environment, promote nature conservation, preserve cultural heritage and promote active citizenship and environmental awareness.

“A fantastic company run by Terhi and Janne. So knowledgeable, friendly and client focused. We are having a beautiful time exploring the snowy wilderness and being taken to different areas each day. Both snow shoeing and skin based skiing as the conditions vary with excellent equipment. Don't miss out on a very special and calming way to enjoy Southern Lapland.”
